My connection to Partners4People is deeply personal. I grew up experiencing food insecurity firsthand. I remember my grandparents showing up with bags of groceries when I was a child—and how, even at a young age, I understood that it was the support of extended family that helped keep food on the table and a roof over our heads.

My parents were young, loving, and worked incredibly hard to give us a good life. Their dedication laid the foundation for who I am today: a parent, a professional, and a community advocate committed to paying that support forward.

After two decades leading global sales and business development teams in the tech industry, I now focus on helping individuals and families achieve financial freedom. But just as important to me is the work I do within my community—because I believe none of us truly thrive unless we all have the opportunity to succeed.

Today, I’m honored to serve on the board of Partners4People, where I’m driven by the simple but powerful idea that no one should face hunger or housing instability alone. Whether it’s raising funds, increasing awareness, or simply showing up—one dollar, one step, one person at a time—we can be part of real, lasting change.

When I’m not working with clients or volunteering, you’ll find me off-grid with my partner and our three boys exploring Texas’ beautiful state parks in our RV, tending to my garden, or working with the Oak Cliff Bee Company to help grow the honey bee population across Austin and the Hill Country. Whether it’s planting a seed or helping a neighbor, I believe the smallest efforts, when done with intention, can make the biggest difference.
